How to choose a design with Eli
By Nimanto 2 min read
In short
Say what you are celebrating. Eli opens the catalogue on that occasion, folds into a waiting pill, and every tile gets a Choose this button. Tap one, answer the details the design needs, and Eli builds a draft with AI Build. Nothing is live until you publish.
A chat is a poor place to compare designs, so Eli hands you over to the big catalogue page and waits there for your pick.
Create an invitation with Eli
- 1Tap Ask Eli (Chat with Eli in the app) and say what you are celebrating, for example "my son's 5th birthday, he loves dinosaurs".
- 2Eli opens the catalogue page for that occasion, with your words as the search. The chat folds into a waiting pill at the foot of the page: Pick a design and I'll take it from there.
- 3Browse. Every tile shows a Choose this button, and tapping the tile itself chooses too. The preview still opens on every design, with Choose this in place of Use this design. Designs Eli already suggested in the chat wear an "Eli's pick" ring.
- 4Tap Choose this. The pick goes back to the chat as your message, the pill unfolds into the chat, and Eli asks only what that design needs: who it is for (and the age, for a birthday), the date and time, the place, and the design's own questions.
- 5Eli builds the invitation with AI Build, the same way the catalogue's Use this design does, and shows you the draft with Open in the studio.
Nothing is live until you publish. See Use this design for what AI Build fills in.
Prices
Prices on the tiles show as they do for you: free, included in your plan, or the design's price. A premium design is paid for at publish, never when you choose it. See Pricing.
If you would rather stay in the chat
Say "show me a few here" and Eli lists up to six designs as a card with their prices and an Open the catalogue link.
Changing the design of an existing invitation
Ask Eli to change the design and it opens the catalogue in Change design mode on the same occasion and format. Because the studio's layout, envelope and effects are lost in a change, Eli shows a confirm card first and names the price at publish. See Change design after filling.
In the app
In the Nimanto app the chat steps aside and the app's own designs open on your occasion with a bar at the foot: Eli · Tap a design, then Choose for Eli. On a design's page the big button reads Choose for Eli. Tapping it sends the design back to the chat, which reopens and carries on.
